Can I get DS 100 yr pins in WDW?

[Laurajean1014]

I want to continue my 100 years of Dreams pin collecting but will be in WDW for Week 6, 7 and 8!

Would WDW have them? The resorts? Or maybe World of Disney?

Does anyone know for sure? Please advise.

The Disney Stores in the malls and airports (except the stores at Orlando Airport) are part of a different subsidiary. World of Disney, the Orlando Airport stores, and all on-property stores are part of the WDW company.

The 100 Years of Dreams pins are not sold by the WDW company; only by the Disney Stores.

You could go to a Disney Store at one of the local Orlando malls. Perhaps one of our local members could advise you on what store is closest and/or your best bet.

Also, you could post here on the DIS, asking if members might be able to help you out while you're away.

I've been told the closest one is in the Florida Mall which is at the intersection of the BeeLine and 441.

WOW, Laurajean, weeks 6, 7 AND 8!!! You are SO LUCKY!!! Good luck finding pins! Another idea would be to send a relative to a store for you, if they "get" the whole pin collecting thing. Unfortunately not a viable option for me; it's a lot to ask of someone who doesn't get it!

please keep in mind that ALL the stores have lines the length of the Nile waiting for the stores to open. I have been told my at least 7 people that the crowds have been down right ugly at the stores on Saturday mornings. Unless Disney is planning ahead and making plan to shift any of their merchandise around to accommodate the masses that pour into WDW at the holidays, I am afraid there will be multitudes of disappointed people. There do not seem to be enough of TDS pins for the refular locals.

Just one honest opinion of a non-TDS pin collector. If I get them they will be off lanyards.
